Good film
but it does rather lose its way in the last 20 minutes or so.

Die Hard was the staple of Christmas Eve for me but with Nightmare Before Christmas beforehand.
Fond memories of Gremlins too from my family's Betamax days so I'll be getting a ticket.

I'll be going to a 21st December showing which coincides with the last day in work.
They've got The Muppet Christmas Carol on for the earlier screening. Might have to go to both.

Minesweeper with monsters
I recently rediscovered this while searching for another game. As with minesweeper, open the field to uncover the monsters. Full instructions are on the page under the board. It's a fun way to kill 10 minutes, and other difficulties are available.

Can anyone recall the link to an 'ultimate minimalist' RPG game - basically it was a board of different sized brown squares, the size being the 'difficulty' of the monster in that room. You had to navigate the board in the 'right' order to open all the rooms. I *think* it was newslettered, but the search function on here appears borked. Google isn't helping.

ANy ideas on how you open the ? boxes
do you have to defeat a certain monster?

They will unlock as the game progresses but I can't remember if it is due to
defeating specific opponents, upgrading your player to a certain level or just progressing through a percentage of the game.

Certain things unlock them...
Filling the combo bar, getting all of NEKOGAMES, unlocking all the missions - that sort of thing.

My wife's brother stayed over recently, and he quiet, and when he does speak is a bit gangsta innit. Strictly came on (which, by the way, is called that because the title is the most awkward non-phrase ever) and he stood up and asserted "This is fucking retarded, and you are retarded for watching this". For some reason I fist-bumped him. It's probably because it's fucking retarded.

He's an aspiring stand-up and internet celebrity..And now EVERYONE at his college will know who he is, which I imagine will work well for him as long as he's got the charisma to carry it off.

It should be a great idea but it just makes him look a bit desperate

I have a surname that allows me to shout "woo woo woo woo", while rapidly moving my hand over my mouth at any native north american that I meet and not cause offence. Yeah, Right.

I'm not saying I agree with the logic, but I'm saying that's what the logic might be. I'm guessing that he's actually from a Mexican background. If a white guy in a workplace does an Indian accent, it would be pretty unnacceptable, but if an Indian person quoted something their mother had said with an Indian accent, it would be viewed in a very different way.

Animals feelings and behaviour are more complicated than merely food and reproduction.
I do agree that being too sentimental can hurt, cruelty and callousness can also masquerade as being unsentimental.

I still remember to this day when I first saw this film.
I was about 8, at my Aunties, my little sister was literally screaming in horror and I was hiding my face behind a cushion as the adults laughed at us going "It's just a cartoon!"

Seems more like
a gentle anal pounding to me

I would agree
but I'm fully aware of what a gentle anal pounding is likeafter I caught my father with the gas man (or should that be the ass man? Chortle!) I still think it's either hair harp playing or bannister polishing.

I have to admit
I find it somewhat confusing. A race where they don't want you going too fast and make it very difficult to overtake? It is all so regulated, they would save a lot of money by just doing a computer simulation to see who wins.
